Be a Hero!

For everyone

Isn’t it time we all learned?

Immediate first aid can make a real difference. An ambulance takes on average eight minutes to arrive but you can die from a blocked airway within four minutes. Isn’t it time we all learned?

The capacity to save a life

The general public must be trained in first aid

First aid used to be recognized as the domain of medical or para-medical personnel. Today, all experts recognize that the general public must be trained in first aid, because it is effective in saving lives, improving the chances of survival and minimizing the consequences of a road crash or heart attack.

We don’t have to feel helpless

In situations where first aid could help save a life we don’t have to feel helpless, because learning life saving skills is so simple. That’s why it’s so concerning that fewer than 1 in 5 of us knows even basic first aid. This has got to change if we are to stop up to 140,000 lives from being needlessly lost each year.
